Ribcage Hurting/Aching

Hi mummies, Im in the beginning of my 3rd tri. I've been feeling pains below the boobs area & i read that the pain & soreness is caused by pressure from the top of the growing uterus as well as baby kicking & punching that area. What do you do to help relief the pain?

That was the reason I took epidural during childbirth as it gets even more worst during contraction 😭😭😭 but soon will all pass! Maybe you can paste some pain relief patch :)

I do get sharp pain there too. But I guess there isn’t anything to ease it. Only to wait awhile and it won’t hurt.

Had it too from late 2nd trimester to early 3rd trimester. Nothing to do except to wait for the pain to go away.

Yes that area will hurt. Just try and take deep breaths but if it gets too painful do visit your gynae soon

Lolx... same here. There is nothing much we can do thou. Just enjoy the journey till you meet your newborn

Same here, since 2nd trimester. I also experienced same with my first one. Nothing much to do about it..

Lolx... i understand how that feels, but seems tgere is no solution to it 😂

Breathe in and breathe out slowly, the pain will eventually go away.
